SWIMTAG Daily Targets

This month we have announced the release of our new live pool stats and daily targets feature. For non self service pools the daily targets are used to encourage your reception team to issue a target number of wristbands per day by displaying messages on the docking station computer. They can be automatically generated monthly or you can set them manually. The initial messages include the live daily swim count, the total number of new users signed up in the last 7 days and the total number of swimmers in the month so far. For further information on setting this up for your pool please contact the support team

Challenge Certificates

The new digital Challenge Certificates are now visible to all users who complete the full distance in any challenge either as an individual or as part of a team. Included on the certificate are the keys stats for the swimmer, the challenge image and the challenge route map. A link can be generated to allow the swimmer to share the link via social media.

New Pool Homepage

We are delighted to reveal the new Pool Homepage, a public webpage that shows off your SWIMTAG stats, competitions, leaderboards and challenges all in one place.

The homepage uses a fully responsive design which means you can easily embed it into your own webpages or mobile app as a tile or web view, the content within the page will update automatically with the latest leaderboards, competitions and challenges. You can also choose to customise your own homepage by uploading a photo as the background image (this will replace the map which is shown by default). For more information and advice on how to use it within your own site or apps contact the SWIMTAG Team and we will be happy to help.

Take a look at the Pool home page for Palatine Leisure Centre here: https://www.swimtag.net/pool/1538/palatine-leisure-centre

Activate a wristband with your SWIMTAG mobile App

New Feature Alert: You can now use the SWIMTAG mobile app to activate a wristband. If your local pool uses a compatible QR scanner you can present your mobile phone for scanning, handy if you forgot your membership card!

On the App side menu tap the QR code icon next to your profile picture, just present the QR code in front of the QR scanner at your pool to activate a wristband. Ideal if you forget your membership card and don't want to loose your swim record!

Mr Pele clocks up twelfth SWIMTAG challenge!

Mr Pele, aged 53, is a regular swimmer at West Bromwich Leisure Centre and, in the last 12 months, has clocked up over 360 hours in the pool and recorded more than 400 kilometres. Visiting the centre most days to swim, Mr Pele puts his commitment in the pool down to SWIMTAG.

Growing up, Mr Pele suffered ill health which meant he was forced to spend much of his childhood in a hospital bed. His battle with crippling osteoporosis continues today and leaves him dealing with intense pain every day, which he controls with the help of 35 daily, prescribed tablets.

Mr Pele explains: “All my life my body has let me down, preventing me from reaching my full potential, both physically and mentally. However, in the last 12 months I have found solace in swimming. I find the water and the environment incredibly relaxing. Ploughing up and down the pool I can clear my mind and focus just on my swim. It is not unusual for me to spend 90 minutes at a time in the water.

“The activity also has a positive effect on my pain levels. Having endured two hip replacements and, more recently, a shoulder replacement, my joint mobility is poor. I am also constantly fighting intense pain, yet, in the water, the pain almost disappears and allows me to simply enjoy the moment.

“SWIMTAG has been a huge motivator. I collect my wristband from reception and that is all I have to do in order to have all my swim data logged. In addition to providing feedback on estimated calories burned, lengths completed and session duration, SWIMTAG also allows me to benchmark against other swimmers. My aim every month is to appear on the Leisure Centre’s list of top ten swimmers, a target I have rarely missed.”

Mr Pele has also completed an incredible 12 SWIMTAG challenges and has just started his 13th – the Jersey Island Swim. He says: “I love the challenges. They give me a target to aim for and a reason to keep returning to the pool.

“The pool and SWIMTAG at West Bromwich Leisure Centre have given me an opportunity to perform well at something. The sense of achievement I get from seeing my name on the leader board or from completing a gruelling challenge is addictive.

“Without SWIMTAG I would find it hard to motivate myself and without swimming I would be forced into a completely inactive lifestyle.

“The experience of the last 12 months has changed my life and I intend to continue to complete challenges and visit the pool 5 or 6 times a week as long as my body will allow it.”

Mark Haslam, Head of Swimming and Sport at Places Leisure who manage the site, says: “Mr Pele is an inspiration. Despite his personal physical challenges, he turns up at the pool almost every day and gives every session 100 per cent. He has become a well-known and highly regarded visitor and we wish him every success with his 13th SWIMTAG challenge.”
